Top Four Summer Lipsticks!

 It may not look like it outside, but deep down we all know it's summer. Even though it's still cold and it rains pretty much everyday; we can't let that stop us wearing our favourite summer lipsticks! Today I will be showing you my four favourite lipsticks which I will be wearing throughout summer 2012. 

(L-R)
17, Natural Collection, MAC, Bourjois Paris. 

Buy 17's mirror shine on lipstick in 'Beehive' here from Boots for  £4.58

This 17 Mirror Shine on lipstick in the shade 'Beehive' is perfect for everyday use. It adds a hint of colour to your lips whilst moisturising them. It's very glossy and it feels great on the lips! 

You can buy Natural Collection products from Boots stores.

This next lipstick I absolutely LOVE. It's a great pinky/coral colour and it's also very moisturising which is great as it doesn't dry your lips out. The one downside to this is the staying power isn't very good but the rest is great! 

MAC's lipsticks retail for £13.50 from many different stores.

I had to include one high end lipstick in here (I couldn't resist!) I love my MAC lipstick's but this one in Angel is my favourite. It's a great everyday, pink colour which stays for a long time (woo!) and also smells great and doesn't dry your lips out. 

You can buy Bourjois products from Boots stores and they retail from between £5-£9.

My final summer favourite is Bourjois Paris's lipstick. I've had this for years now and I'm sure they still sell them (if not similar ones) and they're great. The colour and pigmentation of them is great and also they're moisturising. I love mine, it has nice shimmery undertones which are great for summer.

What are your favourite summer lipsticks?

May Favourites 2012

It's that time of the month again! The time where the blogging/youtube community is filled with many "Favourites" videos. I'm going to add my little post to the many there already are. These are the products I have been loving this month. 

So to start off my May favourites; Here are my two favourite nail polishes! I brought both of these quite recently. The ELF nail polish (Left) is in the shade 'Mint Cream' and you can see it in my haul here. The Barry M nail polish (Right) is in the shade '309 Berry I/C'. You can see the haul here! I love both of these colours and pastel nails are in this season and these two colours go great together. 

Next is my everyday blusher; MUA's blush in shade #1. You can see my review of it here! I love this and use it everyday for school and at weekends. As you can see I might need to buy another one soon! The colour is great, It's very pigmented and lasts on my face all day without the need for a primer. 

My two favourite eyeshadows this month have been Natural Collection's 'Willow' and 'Milk Chocolate'. These two colours go great together with Willow all over the lid, then Milk Chocolate in the crease and outer V. It creates a great, natural, everyday smoky eye! These are both extremely pigmented and last a while on the lid.

My final favourite for this month is ELF's Eyelid primer. You can see the haul post of it here! This costs just £1.50 and it's great! It blends in really well and stops my eyeshadows from creasing and coming off throughout the day! Also the doe-foot applicator is amazing. 

So they're my favourites for this month! What are yours?

April Favourites 2012

Wowee! I cant believe how fast this year is going. We're nearly halfway through 2012! As April is drawing to a close I thought I'd do my April favourites. So lets begin..

First up is my Vaseline Coco Butter lip balm. I swear by Vaseline and I always have at least one tin in my bag at all times for those little emergencies. This one is my favourite Vaseline (it smells soooo good!), it does a great job of moisturising my lips and making them all soft and nice. And for less than £2 you cant go wrong!  

Next is my Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 003 Peach Glow. I brought this earlier on in the month after hearing such good things about it. It does a great job of keeping my face matte without caking on my skin.  

My favourite foundation this month has been my Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid in the shade #10. As my skin has been very dry this month I decided to switch to this as it doesn't highlight any dry patches. Its a great coverage for any spots/red marks you might have too. 

Now onto the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub! These are amazing. I picked one up on my recent trip shopping and OMG I love it. You can read my full review of this here. 

Now onto my favourite moisturiser. I brought this about two weeks ago (just as I started to get the dry skin) and oh my gosh I love it. It does a great job of moisturising all over my face and it doesn't take too long to sink in so I'm not waiting for ages to apply my makeup! Great buy. 

 

Next is my 17 Mirror Shine lipstick in Beehive. For the price, You can't go wrong with this product. It gives a nice everyday colour which has a ok staying power. I love it.

My final favourite is from Collection 2000 and its one of their Hot Looks nail polishes in 48 Candy floss. This is a very nice everyday pink colour and for £1.79 you cant go wrong with the quality.

What are your favourites this month?

March Favourites

March has just flown by! I can't believe we are already into the fourth month of 2012! This years already going pretty fast. Well anyway, Today I'm here to present you with my March Favourites of 2012. Sorry its a little late but here we go..

  

MAC Lipstick in 'Innocence Beware' - £13.50

First up is this MAC lipstick in the shade 'Innocence Beware'. I picked this up around 8 weeks ago now and I have just found a love for it again!

It's a cremsheen lipstick which means it's not matte and goes on more like a gloss. I love this shade its a soft natural baby pink colour. You can wear this lipstick for many occasions, I wear it so school everyday as its a nude so doesn't stand out too much, you can wear it on a night out if you wish or just if you're going shopping. 

Soap & Glory Hand Food - £5.00

Next is the Soap & Glory hand food. I received this for my birthday in January and I haven't stopped using it. On the bottle it says; 

'Non greasy hydrating hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil & marshmallow' 

 It is very hydrating for your hands and it easily sinks in so you aren't waiting around for ages for it to absorb into you skin. After just one use I found that my hands were super soft!

Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Mascara - £6.99

Now onto my favourite mascara; Rimmel London's Scandal Eyes. This has been my everyday mascara for awhile now and I haven't stopped loving it. It makes my lashes seem so thick, full and long. It can get a little clumpy sometimes but you can easily fix that later. 

MUA Lipstick in Shade 5 - £1

To end my March favourites, I am including another lipstick but this time by MUA. I love this lipstick. When I'm not wearing my MAC one, I am wearing this. Its a really nice pink colour which would suite any skin tone. And for a pound, You can't really go wrong! 

It glides on so well over your lips leaving you with a nice pink hint of colour. 

Well that's my March favourites over. What are yours?
